‘Signs of Spring’ cards. Ideal for use as part of aSpring display to visually highlight the changes that happen following Winter. Cards can also be used as a great stimulus for communication and language. When used as part of a display or offered as part of an***invitation to play*** children may initiate communication to you or other children about the cards in a child led fashion. Alternatively, adult led interaction could include closed or open ended questioning. Younger children may point to familiar objects when prompted e.g. ‘Where’s the tree?’ and learn new words as you describe to them what is in the picture. As children progress, more ground may be covered such as ‘What colours can you see?’, ‘How many ducklings are there in this picture?’, ‘Which is your favourite card?’, ‘Why do you like this picture the best?’, ‘What do you think this tree would look like in the Winter?’, ‘Have you seen any of these signs of Spring?’, ‘Where?’, ‘When?’, ‘Who were you with?’, ‘Shall we go outside and see which of them we can find?’ (uneditable pdf file) 11 cards, plus 1 blank included in file (6 pages) Have fun!

This role-play activity pack is designed to introduce children to the idea of an election, and the decision process involved in voting. It is completely non-partisan and unrelated to any real-world political parties/views. An adult reads out the ‘pitch’ from each fictitious candidate and then the children are encouraged to discuss anything they might not understand about the proposals, asking the impartial adult for guidance. Let them know that their vote will be secret, but they can talk about it if they wish. (A possible extension at this point could be to get the children to think about their own views and the views of others. For example, a child may think they would vote for the second candidate because they dislike painting. However, all of their friends may love painting. What is best for the group?) Show the children one of the election voting forms and relate the images to the candidates discussed. Show them the process of going to the Polling Station, getting the form, marking an X in just one box, folding the paper in half and putting in the ballot box. As the adult removes the forms from the ballot box and announces the votes for each candidate, the tally sheet can be filled in to find the winner! (Second possible extension - the children can fill in their own tally sheets to count the votes!) Enjoy this activity with the voters of the future! We hope this helps! Pack includes 12 pages: Banner (spans across 2 A4 sheets) Activity notes Polling Station this way signs x 2 Voting Forms Ballot Box signs (designed to perhaps be attached to a shoe box with slit cut in) 3 x Candidate Proposals Posters Tally Chart for counting votes For our FREE locked uneditable original pdf versions of all colouring activities visit https://www.colourcutstick.com.
